I guess this is sadly just a thing that is likely to happen on the internet. It has happened to me a bunch of times. I had a friend like 10 years ago now and we used to chat every day and he even flew down to visit a few times (he was in another state). We got on so well. Like we had the exact same sense of humour which just meant we spent the whole time laughing at ridiculous things. Once when he came to visit, we spent the whole day visiting every single McDonalds in the city because he worked at a McDonalds and got employee discounts. XD Just random stuff like that. It was awesome. He got a new job and became really busy so we sort of lost touch but I still had him on facebook. He was always threatening to delete facebook so when he completely disappeared off there, I assumed that was what happened. But I thought about him the other day and tried to send him an email just saying I hoped his life was going awesome. But it bounced back. :( So I searched him on facebook just for fun and found that he actually was still on facebook and we had old mutual friends so it's not like he just made a brand new one recently. So I guess he just deleted me. I have no idea why! We haven't spoken in YEARS now but it still made me a bit sad. I sort of wish I never found that out because it was nicer to think we just drifted apart rather than colouring those old good memories in a bad way.

I also think about random people from time to time and wonder how they're doing. I don't know if anyone remembers May Norman from PE2K but she was a really close friend though these days I feel like 90% of stuff she said were lies. xD
